Farnborough College - Student View

Based on the main Farnborough Road, the campus is 100 yards from Farnborough Airfield - great for the air show but can cause major traffic problems. College has parking facilities; 5 minutes' walk from Farnborough town centre.

Well-stocked library and recently improved computer facilities for all students. Sports centre and playing fields rented. Large refectory offers snacks, hot drinks and food.

Loads of courses for mature students through to under-18s. Quite a few foreign students. Very friendly college with helpful staff and lecturers. Easy to change course in first year.

Part-time work available in the union (bar and security) and with local business. SU building with 2 bars is open all day and has late night (8.30-1am) theme parties for up to 300.

SU runs football and rugby teams (male and female) and other sports. Students also run a college radio station and TV production company. Few pubs and no clubs in Farnborough - most students use the SU or nearby Guildford. London is another option but expensive. A nice place to study (especially media or engineering) although lacks the feel of a big university.
